Arduino CNC Shield – 100% GRBL Compatable

2015/08/30 8:01 pm / Bertus Kruger / Featured

Do it yourself CNC projects are popping up everywhere and we decided that we wanted to contribute to the growth. Here are a few of our design goals: Modular Design – We wanted to do more than just keep cost down. We wanted things to be reusable and up-gradable. (Arduino , Individual Stepper Motor Drivers and … Read More →

Raspberry Pi CNC Board / Hat

2015/06/17 8:47 pm / Bertus Kruger / Featured

We are happy to announce the next generation of our CNC boards. By combining a real-time CNC system (good old GRBL) and offloading less timely processes to a more powerful processor + operating system we have created a much more flexible but capable solution. To show some of the possibilities we have created a Web … Read More →

Robot of the week : Pick and Place machine

2014/07/11 8:00 am / Leave a Comment / Bertus Kruger

Brain Dorey has a nice build log about the DIY Pick and place machine he built. Pick and place machines are robotic machines which are used to place surface-mount devices. They are used a lot in the electronics industry. Some are also used for stacking and packing manufactured goods. The video below is a Pick and Place at … Read More →

Machine of the week : CNC Plasma Cutter

2014/07/04 12:00 am / 1 Comment / Bertus Kruger

I recently found a nice build log about setting up a CNC Plasma Cutter. http://cncplasmabuild.com/buidpage18.html Plasma cutters uses a high-frequency, high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc that can cut thick plates of steel.

CNC workflow : Using Sketch-up and MakerCam

2014/03/13 6:57 pm / Leave a Comment / Bertus Kruger

Sketchup is handy tool cad tool for creating 3D models. It can actually also be used to create work files for CNC routers. The following video explains how to create a drawing in Sketchup, convert it to a SVG file. Then with the help of an online tool called http://www.makercam.com/ generate the G-Code needed to run … Read More →

Zeroing a CNC Machine

2014/03/09 8:38 am / 2 Comments / Bertus Kruger

Most CNC machines have no  inherent sense of their absolute position and where their cutting heads are positioned. Zeroing a CNC Machine is the process of making sure that your CNC is precisely setup for the material that it is going to cut(giving it absolute positioning). For a milling machine that includes making sure that X … Read More →

Arduino CNC Shield Project Builds – Turning a A3 Printer into CNC Machine

2014/01/07 8:57 pm / 1 Comment / Bertus Kruger

I have received really good feedback for my Arduino CNC Shield and a few days ago I received some nice feedback from Shane demonstrating the little shield in action. Shane has actually taken an old A3 printer and up-cycled it into a CNC machine.. Great work Shane!!! Related articles across the web Top Ten Arduino … Read More →
